Requesting Exception: Honors S26 Ultra Pre-Order Trade-In ($1,100) due to Medical Emergency

I am a long-time Xfinity Internet customer attempting to port two lines from Google Fi and Boost Mobile. On March 10th (the last day of the S26 pre-order), I had two Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultras in my cart with the $1,100 trade-in credit applied to my two Galaxy A12s.

I was unable to finalize the purchase because my wife was unexpectedly hospitalized that same day. My priority was rightfully with her, but I missed the "submit" window by only a few hours.

I have since visited a store and spoken with supervisors, but I am being told the A12 is no longer eligible. I have physically verified that my devices are factory-unlocked and compatible. I am moving both lines to the Premium Unlimited plan as required.

Per the Xfinity Customer Commitment to "Make things right if we fall short," I am requesting a one-time executive override to honor the pre-order valuation that was in my cart during my family emergency. I want to bring this new business to Xfinity and look forward to your help.

Thank you, Dave

Subject: UPDATE: Formal Documentation of Misrepresentation / Refusal of $25 Resolution

Public Record Update:

I am updating this thread to document a significant failure in the resolution process. Following a Direct Message with a representative, Xfinity has officially refused to honor the $1,100 per line ($2,200 total) pre-order promotion that was in my digital cart on March 10th.

The "Findings" are Factually Incorrect:

The representative stated that my trade-in (Samsung Galaxy A12) "would not qualify regardless of the promotion having ended." This is a blatant misrepresentation of Xfinity’s own published pre-order terms.

The "Any Galaxy" Rule: During the S26 Ultra pre-order window (Feb 25 – March 10, 2026), the primary Xfinity promotion was: "Get up to $1,100 off the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with trade-in of ANY Samsung Galaxy phone" on a Premium Unlimited line.

System Validation: My A12s were already validated and accepted by the Xfinity website when I added them to my cart on the 10th. The claim that they "do not qualify" is a post-deadline attempt to deny the offer.

Final Status:

Despite a documented family medical emergency (my wife’s hospitalization) that prevented the final click on the deadline day, Xfinity is choosing to ignore their Customer Commitment to "Make things right." Offering a $25 credit for a $2,200 loss is a dismissal of a customer in crisis.

Because Xfinity is now providing factually incorrect information to justify denying an accepted promotion, I am immediately filing:

A Formal Notice of Dispute (addressed to the Legal Dept in Philadelphia)

A Consumer Complaint with the Maryland Attorney General (Consumer Protection Division)

A Complaint with the FCC regarding Deceptive Trade Practices

I have attached the screenshot of the representative's "findings" as proof of this misrepresentation. I will now wait for a response from your legal or regulatory team.

See the attached screenshots.

I have already engaged with the 'Executive Resolutions' team as you suggested. Their 'resolution' was a $25.00 credit to cover a $2,200 promotional gap caused by a documented medical emergency. Furthermore, you are telling me to 'reach back out' to a caseworker, yet Xfinity has refused to provide a direct name, extension, or email for said caseworker.

Telling a customer to contact a person you are actively blocking them from reaching is not a support strategy; it is a delay tactic. Since your 'highest escalation platform' is providing factually incorrect information about the S26 pre-order terms and offering pennies for a thousands-of-dollars error. I'm being told the descension came from your highest level? Just like the conversation with the corporate account manager nothing more than lies and dismissal.

Your point of contact would be your caseworker that was assigned to your ticket, if you have any questions or concerns you would need to contact the mobile escalation agent that's assigned to your ticket

Can't post transcripts sorry. 

So what was said from the corporate office was the promotion never offered a trade value for my phone therefore nothing can be done and sorry.

This is incorrect information regarding the promotion that was offered.
